Chapter 8

Alice's Pov

Ilang araw di nag paramdam saakin SI Risa, she's probably mad at me because on what I acted.

I heaved a sigh, naguguluhan na tuloy ako kung Anong gagawin ko.

Ilang oras na nga ba akong nakatunganga Dito sa kwarto, ni ligo Wala pa ako it's almost 7 in the evening.

Naputol Ang pag mumuni Muni ko ng may marinig akong kaluskos sa labas ng bintana ko. Bigla akong binalot ng kaba, walang tao Dito sa Bahay kundi ako lang and I know for sure I locked the gate.

Dahan dahan akong sumilip sa bintana, shocked when I saw her, naka lambitin sa sanga malapit sa bintana ko

"RISA?"

she was holding a paper bag na may logo ng McDonald's

"Hi Alice" she smiled

"Anong ginagawa mo Jan?! Sysmaryosep bat Jan ka?"

"Papasukin mo Muna ako, nangangalay na ako Dito oh"

Dali Dali Kong binuksan Ang bintana ko

Nang makapasok ito agad ko itong tinanong

"What are you doing? Para kang aswang, sa bintana ka pa dumaan and I didn't even heared your car ah?" I told her

"Oh, my car was parked few blocks away from here baka Kase marinig mo and sa bintana ako dumaan Kase baka di mo naman ako pag buksan ng pinto. One thing Alice taasan mo bakod ng gate mo, naakyat ko nga eh ano pa kaya kung masamang tao"

I was astonished on what she said Really? Senator Risa Hontiveros nag over the bakod and sumakat sa Puno para maka pasok sa Bahay ko

"Alice sorry na" she smiled at her apologetic

"Eto oh may dala akong McDonald's, akin Tayo" she raised the paper bag

I gulped, I was starving

"Come Alice, sorrryyy naaa" she pouted

Oh come on Risa how can I resist you?

"Sige na nga"  I said

"Yes, lika kainin na natin to nalasog lasog na ata Yung fries eh"

As I was munching my food Risa talked

"Alice?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you really want to give a shot sa sitwasyon natin?"

"What do you mean?"

"Bigyan ng chance if mag wowork ba? Cause you said you like me and I like you too" she said

"Hindi Naman kita pipilitin Sen, kung Anong gusto mo edi go" I shrugged

"Can we give it a try?" Risa said

"Seryoso kana Jan Sen ha?"

"Of course i am!"

"Okay, but first mas lalo Muna natin kilalanin Ang isat Isa" I said

"Know each other? Di pa ba sapat Yung hearing and investigation ko sayo?" She jokingly said

"Sen, some of the info na nalakap mo fake" I laughed

"Fine, kilalanin Muna natin Ang isat Isa"

"Sen?"

"Hm?"

"Why did you kissed me?"

Napaubo ito sa Tanong ko

"Oh about that, because I couldn't resist the temptation that night. Wag lang mag alala okay Naman Yung Lasa eh" she winked
